I think that fire elementals should have notable fire resistance, but I'm fine with volcanic dragons or azers or whatever not having it.
I'd approve of them having something that made it clear they ignore extremes of temperature common to their home environments without interacting with damage / resistance. There's probably a clean way to do that.
Basically, I think there's way too much immunity and resistance in D&D, such that juggling energy types is its own mini game rather than just letting people play. There's nothing wrong with saying that a creature is able to live in much harsher conditions than humans, without making it a recurring combat issue.
P.S. Spoken as someone who showed up to a campaign as a "storm" sorcerer in 3e, then a level later the campaign turned into going up against all sorts of skeletal undead who were resistant or immune to lightning. Cause clearly a bolt of lightning doesn't hurt a skeleton somehow
